Project Accessory winner Brian Burkhardt is still basking in the delight of his first season triumph. Not only did he take home the $100,000 grand prize to put towards his own line, he also got to design a four-piece capsule collection for Kenneth Cole, now in stores. “I feel very honored to have this opportunity,” Burkhardt told us at the collaboration’s launch party in New York City. The chance arose after Burkhardt won the sixth episode challenge with the unicorn clutch, shown, and bolero necklace—and then he added two more pieces after the season wrapped. “He took his own path,” Cole said of why Burkhardt rose to the top. Check out the entire collection in the gallery, and shop it on kennethcole.com—100% of net profits will be donated to AWEARNESS, The Kenneth Cole Foundation, in support of amfAR.

Recent Project Accessory cast-off Shea Curry showed off jewels she designed—after leaving the show, mind you—at the New Year’s Eve premiere in Los Angeles last night. (She has a cameo alongside Josh Duhamel: “He’s such a sweetheart,” she told InStyle.com.) So what’s next for this glamour girl? “Right now, I’m finishing up my third collection,” she noted. “I’m adding clutches and maybe shoes.” One thing she loved about the show was getting advice from InStyle editor Ariel Foxman. “I loved Ariel,” she noted. “He could be hard on me sometimes, but I loved his advice, and I’m taking a lot of it.” And if there’s one thing she took away from the show, it’s this: “I learned that under pressure I can do anything.” Visit shamelessjewelry.com to see more of Shea’s jewelry, and catch her cameo in New Year’s Eve, out Friday.

Project Accessory airs Thursdays at 10/9c on Lifetime. See more contestants in the gallery!
